Appeals for Men and Women Is Made From Every State to Immigration Officials From every State in the Union, from every city and hamlet, an ap-' peal has been raised to the immigra tion officials of the country for un skilled labor. According to a relia ble expert estimate Just made, 1,000,- 000 immigrants could be brought Into the United States within the next six months and the demand could scarce ly be met. The coal and coke fields of Penn sylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Indiana alone could give employment to from 75,000 to 100.000 additional men. Joseph P. Dowling, inspector of the United States Department of Labor, declares that laborers are scarcer to-day in the United States than ever before in history. In spite of the increase in the num ber of immigrants during 1913, almost twice as many could find employment at wages ranging from 20 to 40 cents per hour. Mines Are Short Handed. In Houghton, Michigan, and all through the Lake Superior mining district, operations arc- being delayed for want of miners. From Jackson ville, Fla., comes the loudest wall. All the native negroes have come North, attracted by high wages, and now Jacksonville has been forced to im port negroes from South Carolina and Italians to complete work that has already been started. Not only are men wanted in Ameri ca. but women, roo. At Reading and York, Pa., hundreds of women imml- : grants would be welcomed to work j in the textile mills and cigar fac tories, while Providence, R. I., New' Bedford and Fall River are also ap pealing for women to work in the textile mills. Throughout the coun try, from coast to coast, thousands of women could find employment at attractive wages as domestic serv ants. The famous Pittsburg district and the farmers of Kansas, Iowa and Texas are probably most seriously af fected by the shortage of unskilled labor. The iron and steel mills of Pittsburg w'ant ID.000 men, while an other 10,000 are needed in Pittsburg proper on building operations. The output of the Connellsville coke fields has been reduced 25 per cent. The coal mines about Pittsburg are run ning 50 per cent short. Farmers Need Thousands. In West Virginia and V irginia the coal mines are running half time as a result of insufficient labor, w'hlle the same condition prevails in the Ohio coal mines. Harvesting the enormous crops In Kansas and adjoining States Is being seriously interfered with. Kansas calls in vain for 25,000 men. Arizona* too, wants farm hands, and even Del aware has sent an urgent appeal for men to work in the harvest fields. The railroads are in almost as seri ous a predicament as th<- farmers. The enormous crops and the work required to move them, the extensive improvements being made by rail roads throughout the country *nd the damage done by floods In the Middle West, all have been factors. But prob ably more Important than all has been the generally Improved busi ness conditions which have made places for every unemployed man and woman.

The approval for this detail follow* speedily the recommendation of Major B. F. Hardaway, Sec- enteenth Infantry, stationed at Fort McPherson, who made the Inspection by special order of the 11 ar Department carlv tn July. This detail carries with it the complete equip ment of modern rifles, dress and service accouter ments, haversacks, canteens and mess equipment as used by the United States Army. Also artillery and cavalry equipment for dis mounted service. The uniforms of the Riverside cadets are identi cal with those of the West Point cadets, and are fit ted to the figure of each cadet by military tailors at Riverside Military Academy. In this respect, River side stands alone among the Southern preparatory schools. THE RECOMMENDATION Tn July of this year a request was made upon the War De partment for an army officer to be detailed for service with the Riverside cadets. Copies of the current catalogue and a complete description of the campus, location, surroundings, physical equipment and faculty were furnished. This so impressed the War Department that notwithstanding the annual inspection of academies and schools applying for such recognition is made only in April, a SPECIAL INSPECTION was ordered immediately, and Major Hardaway was detailed for this service. He was so impressed with the location of Riverside, two miles ont of Gainesville—connected by trolley—in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, with lake Warner on its 2,000-acre campus, that he wrote in strong praise of its magnificent natural advantages and wonder ful possibilities. He was greatly impressed with the opportunities afforded for indoor gallery practice, long range sharpshooting adjacent to the sc-hool, the maneuvering grounds, bridge building, pontoon work, swimming, boating and other arts of modern warfare, all on or at the campus. The physical equipment, with its well lighted, perfectly ven tilated and modemlv equipped barracks, mess hall, class rooms and gymnasium, so enthused him that his comments on these fea tures in his report caused the War Department to take immediate action and announce the approval and detail. THE REASON Riverside possesses all the requisites of an ideal military school. In addition to the superior advan tages named, Riverside has: 1. An Accomplished Faculty—An instructor of successful experience for every twelve boys. No cadet’s room more than three doors from teacher. 2. Wholesome Atmosphere—Two miles out in the hills, with ideal quietude for study, yet enjoy ing the cultured influences of the refined and in tellectual city of Gainesville. 3. Superior Athletics—Only best coaches and trainers employed. Every boy given opportunity to participate. Three and four teams in eaeh sport, coached by members of faculty. 4. Individual Instruction—All the courses of fered by any preparatory school and taught thor oughly. 5. Inspection Invited—The most complete boys’school in the South.
